Zach Thomas-LB-Cowboys

Following the Akin Ayodele trade to Miami, Cowboys ILB Zach Thomas no longer has serious competition for early-down snaps.

Thomas' IDP value soars with the move, but Dallas is taking quite a risk. Thomas' recurring concussions were a serious problem last year and if he is unable to go full boar, usual nickel 'backer Kevin Burnett will be forced into action. Bobby Carpenter becomes Dallas' No. 4 option at inside linebacker.
